The Burgundies included a still young, but plump, rich, cassis, black cherry, and earth-laden 2002 Richebourg from Gros Frère et Soeur. Owners are advised to wait another 4 to 5 years before popping a cork as it is still young yet vibrant, full, and impressively concentrated.
The 2002 Richebourg has a strong ruby color and reveals magnificent aromatic depth. Its candied red cherry, sassafras and cola scents lead to a medium-bodied core of cassis, blackberries, spices, and cherries galore. Silky-textured, deep, and holding much in reserve, this concentrated, elegant wine also displays an exceptionally long finish. Projected maturity: 2008-2020. Bravo!
